Chapter 740 He is an all-around player
The special day has brought unprecedented prosperity to the film market during this year’s National Day holiday.
[My Motherland and Me] has a box office of over 2.8 billion in its three weeks of release, and [Captain of China] has also been strong in the long term and has also exceeded 2.6 billion.
Even the criticized "The Climber", the total box office stumbled over 1 billion, and there was no problem with profitability.
In late October, as the box office of the three movies gradually declined, the entire domestic film market slowly returned to its usual state.
Although there are also 4K versions of "Founding Ceremony of the People's Republic of China", "Fighting across the Yangtze River", "Red Son Goes Alone to the Meeting" and other theme movies released, they have not made any splash at the box office.
On October 22, [Young You] official Weibo announced the start of pre-sales with a high profile.
In just two days, the pre-sale box office of the movie quickly exceeded 100 million.
No one expected that a youth drama with the theme of school bullying could be so popular, but considering that the male protagonist is Gu Wei, it is normal.
Even if the subject matter is not palatable, with Gu Wei's extremely high popularity and huge fan base, as long as a movie is released, there will be a box office base.
On the 24th, Gu Wei's plane landed in Beijing at noon.
I went back to the company for a brief repair, and then went to the venue of the premiere of "Better Days" with Zhou Ming.
"Brother Wei, how do I look?"
In the nanny car, Zhou Ming was wearing a long blue dress, her black hair shawl down her shoulders, and she had a clean face and facial features. Exquisitely, he looked at Gu Wei across from him with a sweet smile.
"Yes, very beautiful!" Gu Wei smiled and nodded.
Zhou Ming's facial features are very good, and her youth is invincible. At only 20 years old, she is full of youthful vitality.
"How have you read the script recently?"
After Gu Wei returned to Beijing at the end of last month, he decided to play the role of Zhou Xi in "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", but the company has not given him a role recently. She arranged other work.
“I read the script several times and memorized all my lines. I was very attentive!”
“Although Cheng Xiaomei’s role is not many, it has a certain depth. , you have to grasp the character’s personality and inner state well to perform well”
Zhou Ming stretched out his hand and scratched his head: "Then I go back to school and ask for advice from an acting teacher?"
"No, our company has an acting teacher"
"Who is it?" Zhou Ming asked curiously .
"Zhang Songwen, he used to do acting training. You are all actors in [Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils]. I will say hello to him later, and you can go to him for advice."
When I first met Zhang Songwen, I was filming "A Little Smile Is Allure" and I found an acting teacher for Nazha. He was the best at teaching people to act.
"Okay."
It didn't take long for the nanny car to arrive outside the premiere, and Gu Wei took Zhou Ming and walked in through a special passage.
"Brother Wei, Xiao Ming!"
In the venue, Zhang Zifeng, who was wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans and short hair, saw Gu Wei leading Zhou Ming in and happily extended his hand to say hello.
“Zi Feng, I haven’t seen you for a few months, you seem to have gained a little weight.”
Gu Wei said with a smile.
The last time the two met was when they were filming "Tang Detective 3".
Zhang Zifeng, who was originally looking happy, immediately pouted when he heard what he said.
"No way, I haven't gained weight. I've always paid attention to controlling my weight, okay!"
"Haha, I'm not fat, I'm wrong~" Gu Wei smiled and teased her.
"Gu Wei!" Director Zeng Guoxiang came over with joy on his face when he saw him arriving.
"Director Zeng~"
"I just checked and the pre-sales of our movie have now exceeded 160 million yuan. According to the current trend, the pre-sales will be very high when it premieres at zero o'clock tomorrow. It may exceed 200 million!”
Zeng Guoxiang was a little excited. When he was preparing the movie, he knew that Gu Wei’s participation would definitely make the movie a hit at the box office, otherwise he would not agree to share it with the other party. 40% investment share.
But he never expected that the movie has not been released yet, and the pre-sales alone will almost make up for it. From this point of view, the future box office of this movie will be far more than 500 million or 800 million, and it will definitely break through. 1 billion possible.
Zeng Guoxiang's last movie "July and Ansheng", although it had a good reputation, the box office was only 170 million.
Now this "Young You" is also not a commercial film. He thought that even with Gu Wei joining the movie, it might only have a box office of 500 million or 800 million.
Looking now, he is still conservative.
“Congratulations, no, I should say congratulations.
The pre-sale is just the beginning. I believe that with the excellent quality of our movie, everyone will be satisfied!” Gu Wei is confident that with his box office appeal, there will be no problem that the box office of "Youth" will exceed that of the original version.
Although the heroine changed from Zhou Dongyu to Zhang Zifeng, she seemed to be much less famous, but Zhou Dongyu never had such a box office appeal, and the high box office of the original version had little to do with her.
In horizontal comparison, Gu Wei crushes the four characters in all aspects. Under the same conditions, he will naturally achieve greater success.
The premiere ceremony of [Young Boy] is the day before it is released nationwide.
In addition to inviting some media people and film critics in the circle, the remaining audience tickets will be distributed to some lucky local viewers in the capital through a lottery.
Wang Fang is such a lucky audience.
She participated in the lottery with her classmates at school, and among dozens of people, only she and her good friend Zhang Yinghui were lucky enough to win.
"Xiaohui, have you noticed that there are many celebrities at the premiere today, I just saw several celebrity faces"
In the theater, the seats of the two girls are relatively different. Leaning back, Wang Fang looked around with wide eyes and whispered.
“Do you think the person wearing the hat over there is Lu Han?”
“It should be, the person next to him seems to be Huang Zitao.
Lu Han seems to have a good relationship with Gu Wei. He was scolded so badly at [Shanghai Fortress] this year, but it was Gu Wei who stood up for him. "
Both girls are loyal fans of Gu Wei and know everything about him.
"Actually, I don't understand it. Logically speaking, they are both top-notch. Our brother and Lu Han should be in a competitive relationship, but they seem to have always had a good relationship."
Zhang Yinghui smiled slightly: "You are too superficial.
Gu Wei has been more than just a top player many years ago.
He has completely distanced himself from other young male artists.
Their resources are not at the same level, so of course there is no competition."
Wang Fang nodded thoughtfully, then smiled: "My brother is still the most powerful. ! ”
Shortly after the two sat down, the host opened the game, and then the creative team walked onto the stage.
Gu Wei stood in the middle C seat. On his left was director Zeng Guoxiang, and on his right was the female director. Protagonist Zhang Zifeng
His appearance naturally caused screams in the stadium.
"Wow! Brother is so handsome!"
"Gu Wei, look here, we will always love you!"
"The movie is a hit, you are the best ”
“.”
After a while, with the host's comfort, the fans present stopped screaming. Everyone could feel Gu Wei's invincible anger.
After the usual self-introduction, the main creators expressed their thoughts on the movie, and then it was time for the screening.
The main creators exited, and the lights in the theater slowly dimmed.
"Does any student know the difference between was and usetobe?"
The video begins with Chen Nian teaching children in class. Zhang Zifeng's makeup is mature and her smile is soft and sunny.
“Which student knows?”
“Was means past.” came a student’s voice.
“In fact, both of them mean the past, but the difference is that if you use usetobe, it will feel like a sigh of losing paradise. Do you all remember it?
Let’s read it again together .”
"Thisusedtobeourplayground."
"Thiswasourplayground."
"."
With the English reading sentence after sentence, the camera slowly turned to a person in the classroom who did not raise his head. The little girl seems to be conveying some deep meaning to the audience.
Then the scene changed, and Gu Wei's face appeared on the big screen, with a warm smile and a light in his eyes.
Then came Zhang Zifeng with the same smile, but she was much greener than the one at the beginning.
“Gu Wei is so handsome. He is obviously without makeup in this shot, but he is still so handsome.
It’s over, my heart melted into his smile.”
"Not to mention looks, this temperament is also sunny, the two of them are full of youthfulness!"
"Zhang Zifeng has really grown up, in my impression she has always been a child"
At the beginning, everyone discussed a few words, and the theater returned to calm, and then the camera switched to the campus.
Although [Young You] has revealed the theme of the movie during its promotion, which is about school bullying, the audience obviously did not think that this subject would be too uncomfortable to film.
At the beginning of the movie, everyone was shocked by the girl who committed suicide by jumping off the building.
Subsequently, Zhang Zifeng was bullied by classmates and bullied and beaten by other girls, which made people even more angry.
"This Wei Lai is so annoying, how can he be so vicious at such a young age!"
"It's so annoying. If I had a child like this, I would strangle her to death!"
"It's so disgusting, I really want to go up and slap her twice."
Zhou Ming in the audience When she heard the whispers from the audience, her expression was not very good. She also knew that it was because of her character, but who doesn't want to be liked by the audience.
Gu Wei turned to look at Zhou Ming and noticed her unhappiness, and whispered comfort: "The more the audience hates it, the better your performance is, which is something to be proud of."
Zhou Ming heard this , pursed his lips: "I know, but it always feels bad. I still want to play a good person."
Gu Wei smiled: "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
The movie continues.
Xiao Bei and Chen Nian met unexpectedly. They sympathized with each other because of the same misfortune and stayed together to keep each other warm.
This section is the most heartwarming section in the movie.
Then the more cruel thing came.
Xiaobei was taken away by the police for questioning. Chen Nian, who was unprotected, was bullied by a group of people from Wei Lai. Not only was he beaten but his hair was cut.
After Xiaobei came back, he was furious. He wanted to take revenge but was stopped by Chen Nian. He also cut his hair to accompany Chen Nian.
In the audience, many girls sobbed and wiped the tears from their faces when they saw this scene.
Yang Yinghui looked at the big screen and sniffed, thinking of something.
“I heard that the heroine of this movie was originally Zhou Dongyu, but she didn’t want to cut her hair during the filming of this scene. She acted like a big star in the crew and annoyed Gu Wei, and then she was replaced by Zhang Zifeng.”< br>
"Is it true?" Wang Fang didn't want to cry after hearing this gossip, and turned to look at her best friend in surprise.
“This is news that came out during the filming of [Young You]. Some media have reported it. I don’t know whether it is true or not.
But it is definitely true that Zhou Dongyu was replaced”
"Fortunately, Zhou Dongyu was replaced. Her appearance is too low. If she acted, I wouldn't be able to watch it. She is a bit too unsuitable for Gu Wei."
The movie continued to play, Wei Lai Many viewers were relieved when she went to Chen Nian to beg for mercy, but she accidentally pushed her down the stairs and died.
But Chen Nian killed someone, which made everyone worried again, because the college entrance examination was about to take place.
Xiao Bei throws his body away and takes the blame, while Chen Nian succeeds in the college entrance examination.
Finally, under the persuasion of police officer Zheng Yi, Chen Nian told the truth and both of them were imprisoned.
At the end of the film, Chen Nian finally became a teacher after being released from prison, and Xiaobei was still silently protecting her behind him.
The text scrolled on the big screen, and Gu Wei's magnetic voice told about the country's active measures in the protection of minors.
Including [Minor Protection Law], [Guidance Opinions on Preventing Bullying and Violence among Primary and Secondary School Students], [Strengthening Comprehensive Management Plan for Bullying among Primary and Secondary School Students], etc.
"When everyone in the family, society, you, me and him contributes a little bit, we can protect the youth and the world!"
After saying the last sentence, Gu Wei's figure It also got dark, and the ending song [fly] sang.
The theater lit up, and many viewers were still immersed in the movie.
A few seconds later, thunderous applause erupted in the theater, lasting for a long time.
Many viewers had tears in their eyes and clapped their hands vigorously to express their love for the movie.
The main creators once again took the stage and entered the audience interaction session after the screening.
At this time, the audience realized that there were so many big stars coming to the premiere today.
Wu Jing, who was sitting in the front row, stood up first and took the microphone.
“Gu Wei and I are old friends and we have worked together on many movies.
But every time I watch Gu Wei's new movie, I feel surprised. I have different feelings every time I see him, because he is always growing.
You can think about all his works over the years.
Romance films, detective comedies, fantasy films, police and gangster films, military films, science fiction films, including today’s feature films with unique themes such as "Young You", you can find that Gu Wei has been trying new things , he did not define himself, but tried different movie types and roles as much as possible.
I think this is what a real actor should do!
The most important thing is that every new attempt he makes succeeds because Gu Wei really puts his heart into making movies, and every audience can see this. ”
After Wu Jing finished speaking, there was another round of applause in the venue.
It may seem like commercial flattery, but actually if you think about it, it’s all true.
Many actors in the entertainment industry only make movies that they are good at. For example, comedians usually only make comedies, action stars make action movies, and some only make youth romance movies.
It’s not that they can’t make other types of movies, but it’s very easy to fail after changing them.
Everyone likes to stay in their own comfort zone. Only Gu Wei has tried one movie after another in various genres since his debut, and has always been successful.
After Wu Jing finished speaking, the microphone was handed to Lu Han's hand on the other side.
“Brother Wei’s [Young You] is so beautiful, I couldn’t help but shed tears just now.
Campus bullying is a very common but very serious problem. I hope This movie can make more people pay attention to it!"
After he finished speaking, he sat down and Huang Zitao stood up, not knowing what to say.
"Brother Lu said what I wanted to say. Brother Wei is awesome and his acting was great. Little sister Zhang Zifeng also acted very well. Your smile really scared me back then"
After he finished speaking, everyone laughed again.
